"State Street Club"

This comes from Fiesta 2005 in Santa Barbara. The entire downtown Santa Barbara area is crawling with people and the Lower State St. bar district is no exception. This area has been completely renovated over the past 10 years or so, and on most Friday and Saturday nights this is a common site with the college girls and guys hanging out at the various clubs. I like the way the night colors in this painting strenghten the party atmosphere, and I was thinking of van Gogh's Night Cafe when I painted it, with the strong colors and figures hanging out.
